[@christophernikolaou8009]

Homemade? The guy has got a tig and a lathe. Not many homes with those tools

[@jrocks1971]

@@christophernikolaou8009 It's all about your priorities. Save up over time -- neither a Tig nor a lathe are out of reach, even for men of humble means. Just steal $20 from yourself once every week or two and stick it in a can in the shop -- before you know it, you'll have your tool money. I just got my first welder, which took me over a year to save up for because I don't earn much and support a family -- it can be done! Like Jason Knight says, "Sell the gold coin collection" (or whatever other non-critical thing you're spending that $$ on -- almost everyone blows some portion of their income on something.) Welder, blacksmithing tools, a drill press, bench grinder... A lathe is nice to have, but not critical, a 1x30" belt sander is like $50 on harbor freight and can do a LOT of grinding with cheap belts, if you don't have a 2x72, etc. Tools are never a bad investment!

[@shadowscribe]

I love most of the stuff you build/restore are integrated into you're workshop. When you see it in action, you go "oh yeah, I remember that," and go the down the rabbit hole of past videos.

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

What a well thought-out build. It's crazy to think we've all basically watched you build your shop from a tiny space with entry level table-top tools to an all-encompassing work shop with high-end powerful tools that you, yourself, either restored or created yourself. Amazing work man, and an absolute pleasure to watch.

[@1slotmech]

Not without a propane supplier, heh. :)

[@hibahprice6887]

In a group of people, being a blacksmith - yes, alone - no) We forget that before each person was a hunter, a builder, and a carpenter .. In short, what you had to do was to do it yourself, just like in the zombie apocalypse, if you are the best blacksmith, you will have the best weapon (from what you can do) but you have to strain to find food, shelter, etc. .. But this is clearly a better skill than let's say some kind of manager, lol ..

[@joeciok]

Lots of access to power tools, solvents and propane after the apocalypse eh?

[@SoupyOatmeal]

It is really really good to know what the finished product looks like before you start. It makes it look like your a genius when you make something beautiful on the first try.

I was even confused by the tube, even if it was stainless it wouldn't last very long as a forge liner.

[@who_cares848]

Great use of an old expansion tank. I'm in the heating business so I must have at least 20 of these just laying around. I'm always on the lookout for stuff to use them for because scrap prices are so low.

[@smartypants5036]

Simply BRILLIANT. Every thing you need and nothing that you don't. Best gas forge that I have seen.

[@gmacka6333]

Very, very nice job. This is my absolute favorite propane bottle forge build i have seen to date. I love the attention to detail you showed, and that you were following your obviously well thought out plans. Love it.

I'm toying with the idea of building a forge. I have an old helium canister in the back of my garage... This is by far one of the best builds I've seen of all forges I've watched being built on KZbin... Thank you for the inspiration 👌

[@matthewgrajeda9217]

Very well done! I really like how you did the weighted wire door.

[@Vikingwerk]

I would consider changing the door counterweights to be foot pedals. I constantly find myself wishing for 3 hands when smithing, and being able to open/close the forge doors with both hands busy would be pretty handy. There is a reason most power hammers use a foot control.
